Goldfajn spoke to senators of the economic affairs committee
for his confirmation hearing. If he is confirmed by the
committee the Senate floor needs to ratify his nomination.

decide on its benchmark Selic rate. It is not yet clear if
Goldfajn, the former chief economist of Itau Unibanco, will
participate in the rate decision.
